This funding marks a pivotal milestone for Good Company as it accelerates its mission to support innovative startups dedicated to addressing humanity’s most pressing environmental and social challenges.
“Accelerating climate change, food shortages, threats to biodiversity, overconsumption, and massive social inequality are urgent threats facing humanity today,” said Shahar Botzer, Partner at Good Company and father of four. “At Good Company, we are dedicated to creating a better future for our children and believe that Israel’s technological expertise is key to addressing these pressing issues. We leverage our country’s entrepreneurial resilience to build successful global companies that drive positive change.”

“Israel’s leadership in R&D and deep technology presents significant potential for impact-oriented markets,” added Ido Fishler, Partner at Good Company and father of two. “We believe the next Mobileye, Check Point, and Monday.com will emerge in fast-growing fields such as the circular economy, digital healthcare, and climate tech.
